Mass Meeting to Map Referendum on Jitney Bill Tonight
A statewide effort to block the jitney bus bill and its referendum is planned with a mass meeting at the Labor temple tonight at 8. The bill, vetoed by the governor, would take effect April 10 under an emergency clause. Petition drives will target both the jitney bill and a separate registration petition measure. A five member committee from the Municipal Ownership league will supervise the referendum organization. Jitney drivers in Seattle and other cities will gather signatures, while the Progressive county committee plans Saturday meetings to push the referendum.

Legislature Passes Jitney Bill Despite Governor Veto
In Olympia on March 12 the jitney bus bonding bill passed the house and senate over Gov. Lister's veto. The Senate vote was 82 to 12 and the House 63 to 31.
